Peach Freezling

What exactly is Freezling you ask??? It just may be my new favourite drink and it is a spin-off of the super popular frosé-frozen rosé wine slush.  Freezling however is made using riesling instead of rosé and it’s perfect for a hot summer day.  It’s super versatile and can be made by blending any of your favourite fruit and Kitsch’s Maria’s Block Riesling which is a classic style Riesling with notes of peach, appricot, and nectarine!Hope you enjoy it as much as I do!!

Ingredients

• 1 bottle Kitsch Maria’s Block Riesling plus more for blending *see note
• 6 fresh peaches (peeled and sliced) or frozen peaches if they are not in season
• ½ cup simple syrup (mix 1/4 cup sugar with 1/4 cup hot water and mix to dissolve sugar)
• 1/2 lemon juiced
• 2 oz Triple Sec

Instructions

1. Add fresh peaches, simple syrup, lemon juice, Triple Sec and Kitsch Riesling to a blender.
2. Blend until completely smooth.
3. Pour mixture into ice cube trays or a pan.
4. Freeze.
5. Place frozen mixture in a blender. ( I never measure them out. I just toss a handful in and add more if I need it)
6. Add a splash of wine to make blending easier.
7. Blend until slush consistency (add a splash of wine to thin it out if needed)
8. Pour into wine glasses, add a straw (if desired) and serve immediately.
9. Garnish with fresh fruit like peaches, lemons, or limes.

Notes

You’ll need to add a few splashes of wine to the frozen ice cube for blending. You can reserve a small amount of wine or just use some wine from another bottle, which is what I do.

ADD ice! If you like for your slushies to have those tiny little ice chips then throw in a few ice cubes and a little bit more wine!
